Trinceton has taken the first step in the direction of reform in football, and the New York Tribune thinks Harvard, Yale and the Unirersity of Pennsylvania cannot afford to be far behind in helping along the proposed good work. The football rules must be remodelled and the brutal featurer eliminated, or the college faculties will have to compel the boyi to abandon the game. There is no other alternative. It is either reform or no football. Rd Apple Smith" is one of the noted characters of the Congressional lobby, states the Atlanta Constitution. Each morning he appears at the Capitol with a quantity of mammoth red apple, and .he distributes these among the committee rooms where he has measures pending and among the CJongrewsmen whose influence he wishes to obtain. In this way he dis tributes hundreds of apples everv week that Congress is in session, and he buys his fruit by the barrel. He has be at this for years, and has put a number of claims through. His specialty is war claims. . Hays the New York Observer: "The poor we have always with us and the lazy. To discriminate between them is somewhat of a task. In ponie cases the wood -pile marks tie division. They go to the right or left according to their disposition. Home of the hungry go right to work, while by others the opportunity to labor, and so earn a breakfast, ia left severely alone. If the newspapers are to be be lieved, and we see no reason for doubt ing their statements, then while in Chicago the unemployed number tens of thousands it is hard to get men to labor nt fifteen cents an hour on canal work. When men were recently asked for from Milwaukee by a Chicago busi ness firm, the answer came that while there was plenty of steady work in the Wisconsin woods for willing men at fair wages, the men were not to be had. There was work, and there were workers enough, but the men were shy and refused to be introduced." The Baltimore Hun's tribute to the South is worthy of reproduction : "Less complaint has been heard from the South during the last eight or ten months than from any other part of the country, but this is not because the people of this section have not felt the financial stringency, but because they have learned to suffer and be strong and tilent, too. They are not given to making an outcry every time they come to rough places in the road of life. For a people who, prior to ISfiO, enjoyed an exceptionally lux urious existence, the manner in which they bore the poverty and privations that followed the war was amazing in its calm strength and quiet endurance, and was fully as heroic astheir bearing during that conflict. The bravery and patience with which they have since struggled to redeem their fortunes have been no less admirable, and their, progress toward prosperity has been' noted w:.th heartfelt interest by their1 friends in other sections." Within the past seventeen yea's tna land-grabbing Nations of Europ- mve parcelled out among them nearly the entire continent of Africa. What is) left is a very small fraction jtily Morocco and Tripoli, which will iu time fall to France, Italy or Spain, tn J a stretch of Country behind Ashpit-? land and the Soudan. The d:ttva now claimed by France extends from Tripoli to Morocco, and from the Mediterranean to the Qulf of Guinea. It may go eastward to the Egyptian frontier or 6phere of influence, but on this point it must come to some ar rangement with Germany, which seems to claim jurisdiction indefinitely north ward from the Cameroons, with Eng land v-indwiched between a portion of the way. France has another large slice to the south of German Eqnatori- nl Africa, and bounded on the south by the Congo Free State. Then comes Portugal, with the Congo State and British Africa for eastern boundary, and another great tract of German territory on t he south. Britain rounds off the continent at the Cape and right up for thousands of miles to the south ern border of th- Congo State and Portuguese and German possessions in East Africa. Within lie the Orange Froe State and the Transvaal Repub lic. To the northeast lies another var-t British area, in equatorial Africa, contiguous on the west with the Congo State and the French and German pos sessions. Italy claims Somali Land, AbvsMnia and the land of the Gallia, and England again creeps in with a tract of the Red Sea coast opposite Aden, as well as the Island of Soeotra. Egypt may also be said to be in English hands, for the good of the natives, as he English say. PITHY NEWS ITEMS R. O. Dabb, a train flagman, was killed at Salisbury, N. C, by an over head bridge.

The Ohio River Charleston, which has succeeded the Charleston, Cincin nati k Chicago line, has been making preparations to connect its Tennessee and Carolina divisions by building a road in eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina, which would make a new through line from Tennessee and Kentucky to Charleston. It is under stood that an effort is being made to negotiate bonds for the purpose named. Apparently, however, another com pany has taken up a part of the Ohio River k Charleston's right of way In Tennessee. This is thePowel's Moun tain Mineral Railway Co. President L. M. Jarvis advises that it is designed to build a road from a point near Knoxville, Tenn., through the Clinch river valley to a connection with the Norfolk Western at St. Paul, Va. The road is to be 100 miles long, and states that thirty-three miles t.-f it is th? Ohio River & Charleston route, which has been graded. The general offices of the Company are at Chatta nooga, Tenn.

The uift is worthy of the occasion, for all such wine is absolutely priceless, and it is probably only to be found in the cellars of the Emperor and of the Duke of Luxemburg, except for any t-tray bottles which may be hidden away in a few country houses.

The original proposition was tor art naked, and he made enough from what he earned last night by charging ad mission to the room to buy his flimsy costume. He also bought some sole leather and made a pair of sandals. He left the club bouse in a cab for the Boston Tavern at 2 a. m.

Mr. Pence, Populist, of Colorado, offered in the House a bill proposing woman's suf frage. The bill differs somewhat from others presented on the same subject heretofore, as it does not propose to amend the constitution, but simply gives women over the age Of 2i the tight to register and vote at all elections for members of the House of Re presentatives, and provides that their rights shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State. A preamble to the resolution says that the right to choose members of the House of Representatives is vested by the constitution in the people of the several States, without distinction of sex, but for want of proper legislation heretofore, one-half has been restrict ed from voting. The bill is for the purpose of correcting this error and to give full effect to the constitution. Some days ago Mr. Bell offered a resolution amending the constitution so as to give "woman suffrage." It was referred to the judiciary committee and reported adversely. The resolu tion of Mr. Teuce does not amend the constitution, and was sent to the com mittee on the elections of President, Vice President and members oC the Congress. The Fate of the Driver of a Drove of Mules at Lands ford. .Lantsfofh, Chester County.S. C While erosFitig the Catawba river at Landsford, in charge of "a drove of mules, a man named McNincb, from Chester, was washed into deep water below and drowned. It appears, from what I can hear, that McNinch was riding in the centre of the drove and turned to the right to head some of the mil'"? that were leaving the road, when through ignorance of the ford he plung ed into a deep hole and was washed i way. The mules which he was at tempting to head as well as that on which he was mounted were swept Ion n the river to the ferry, a half a mile below, where they reached shore. The miller of Foster's mill was crossing the river below at the time and at tempted to reach the drowning man, but could not do so as the river was flooded. The body has not been re overed.

The condition of some Southern far mers, and the improvement financially is indicated bv the state of affairs at La Grange, Ga. The county clerk. E. T. Wiun, says many farmers who have money ahead, instead of letting it lie idle in bank, are beginning to lend it to their neighbors. The amounts are, of course, small, ranging from $75.00 to $150, but this only shows a proper caution on both sides With this money in hind the small farmer can purchase necessary things at cash prices, which is a great saving. He pays only legal interest, which, while not oppressive to him. is a sufficient remuneration to the lender. All ihojt Some Manure. The Statesville, N.

In the last issue of the Southern States magazine, D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, who has been so closely identified with the development of the cottonseed-oil industry of the South, gives a very interesting account of the progress that has been made in fatten ing cattle on cottonseed hulls and meal. A few years ago when the fastening tjuaiitien of this material were demon strated, it was hardly realized how great would be the effect upon the live-stock interests of the South From Carolina to Texas this business is steadily iri creasing, and from 300 head fattened ten years ago the number has now in creased to 175,000 fattened for market. while 100,000 are fed for dairy purpos es, making at present nearly 300,000 head of cattle fed on material that ten years ago was thrown away. "Every oil mill in the South," Mr. Tompkiiis says, "is now selling large quantities of hull and meal for cattle feed. The mills will work 1,500,000 tons of seed from which will come 750,000 tons o hulls. Each ton of hulls, with its pr rata of meal, will make a fine fat bee of a lean steer. The oil business i constantly increasing, and it will no be long before there will be 1,000,00-. tons of hulls available." Much of thi will go to make good beef, and much will go for the production of good milk and butter. The growth of this indus try and the effect which it will have upon the dairy and beef interests of the South can be appreciated from the fact that even from Greenville, 8. C, which is in a section where the major ity of Northern people scarcely expect to find good beef, 500 head of fattened beeves were shipped to Baltimore last year. The South scarcely begins to get one new industry well developed before the possibilities of some other are seen, and it becomes difficult to follow tht rapid progress that is being made in the diversification of its industrial life. Everything is tending to open up the wealth - creating possibilities of the amazing resources of this section, and the world will soon see, as it has never seen before, that there is no other country on earth which has such a mar velous combination of advantages with so few disadvantages. Where nature done so much it only remains for man to utilize, as he is now doing, these ad vantages, to create greater wealth than can be found anywhere else in America. GENERAL JUBAL A. EARLY. An Accident Which May Result in his Death. LTNCHBrno, Va. General Jubal A Early had a fall on the ice at the post office and was painfully bruised. No bones were broken and the attending physician stated that no serious result was apprehended from the accident. This forenoon the physician gave it out that the general was resting quiet ly and would probably be out in a day or two. To-night, however, Dr. Ter rell states that he is very fearful that the nervous shock resultant from the fall will prove serious. General Early is 78 years of age and recently has been in such feeble health that it is thought that he can not live much longer. It may be that this accident will hasten his death. The Country's defenders. The annual report of Secretary of War Lamont to Congress, shows the total organised militia of the States and Territories as 112,190, or 300 less than in any previous year. Most of the big militia States lost, while those having small organizations increased. New York and Pennsylvania lost 95 and 13 respectively, while Alabama and other Southern Stales had small gains. South Carolina, with 5,440, has the largest militia force in propor tion to her population, and is only ex ceeded in n-imbersby New York, with 12,810; Massachusetts with 5,6fi6, and Pennsylvania with 8,614. The strength of Georgia is reported at 3,535, Flor ida 4,011, and North Carolina 1,782. Delaware's militia numbers only 330. Moonshiner Reported A Freak. Winston, N. C. Lum Fulk, a noted character of Stokes county, has report ed over 100 blockaders in that county. It has caused quite a stir among many of the moonshiners. Several of them have moved out of the state on ac cjunt of it. There is quite a freak of nature near Big Creek, Stokes county. It is a white negro girl who is about six years old and in good health. She was born to parents as black as the "ace of spa les," so to speak. While the child is as white as any Caucasian, so far as the cuticle is concerned, she has all the regular features of a full-blooded Afri can flat nose.thick lips and kinky hair. The latter is as white as wool. Beatification of Joan of Arc. Rome, Italv The Moniteur de Rome publishes a decree announcing the beatification of Joan of Are.
